The Author I. Milton.


Prov. 28.15, 16, 17.

15. As a roaring Lyon, and a ranging Beare, so is a wicked Ru-
ler over the poor people.

16. The Prince that wanteth understanding, is also a great op-
pressor, but he that hateth covetousnesse shall prolong his dayes.

17. A man that doth violence to the blood of any person, shall fly
to the pit, let no man stay him.

Salust. Conjurat. Catilin.

Regium imperium, quod initio, conservandae libertatis atque augendae
reipub. causâ fuerat, in superbiam, dominationemque se convertit.
Regibus boni, quam mali, suspectiores sunt semperque his aliena virtus
formidolosa est.
Quidlibet impunè facere, hoc scilicet regium est.
